CENTRAL TEXAS — The morning thunderstorms that passed through areas like Hamilton, Clifton, and West have dissipated and moved northeast of the Central Texas viewing area. All severe thunderstorm warnings have since expired.
Another round of isolated heavy rain and storms are possible between 3pm and 6pm Saturday. Meteorologist Thomas Patrick is currently monitoring and updating our neighborhood forecast before tonight's 6pm news... so please stayed tuned for updates online and on social media.
The powerful cold front that passed through Central Texas around 8am has left the area much colder today. Temps dropped from an official high temperature of 73 degrees, which was at about 3am... to just the 50s all afternoon! Meanwhile, all the thunderstorms have been elevated in nature dropping small hail at times, but largely unable to realize any true severe weather threat for Central Texas. A few more showers and storms are likely to keep passing through our region until about 10pm at the latest.
We start Sunday cold with temperatures well into the 40s. Waco's low temperature will be 44 degrees and northern counties will drop to near 40, some models went into the upper 30s for some! Thankfully, it doesn't stay cold on Sunday. Mostly sunny skies push temps to the mid 70s in the afternoon. A beautiful non-humid day after the morning chill departs!
We start next week a little cooler thanks to more rain chances. Monday evening and Tuesday particularly will be wet and cool with highs in the upper 60s. Weirdly enough, there will barely be any thunderstorms (let alone severe weather). Temps rebound back to normal in the upper 70s to low 80s by Thursday and we'll start to monitor our next thunderstorm chances from there.
